Welcome to the home of South Devon Youth Jazz

The South Devon Youth Jazz project is an exciting new venture aimed at providing a pathway for the emerging musician into the world of jazz and improvisation.

As a result of collaboration between jazz musicians, educations and funding partners, its aim is to provide the young musicians of South Devon with an opportunity to play jazz together in a fun and encouraging environment.

Based in Newton Abbot, the project is based around fortnightly workshops and termly master classes with top jazz educators.

There is no strict minimum standard, but we would estimate that students need to be able to read music to a reasonable extent and be approximately a Grade 2 technical standard on their instrument (but no need to have taken exams).
